AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 233

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 233 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Gun Violence Reduction Act.

Section 5. Legislative findings.

(a) The General Assembly finds that some communities of this State are ravaged by violence and that a substantial and disproportionate amount of serious crimes are committed by persons who unlawfully possess firearms. The General Assembly finds that this State's unusually long mandatory prison sentences for gun possession and gun violence have failed to adequately protect public safety and that more aggressive and tailored approaches to address these behaviors are required.

(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to promote in every community public safety, public health, criminal justice, and regulatory systems capable of reducing the illegal trade, possession, and public carrying of illegal firearms, as well as enabling victims suffering injuries from firearms to seek redress against negligent businesses and insufficient regulatory actions that widen public safety disparities between citizens of this State.

(c) To carry out this intent, the General Assembly declares the following purposes of this Act:

(1) to protect communities from gun violence through targeted intervention programs, including improving family violence prevention, community trauma treatment rates, gun injury victim services, and public health prevention activities;

(2) to substantially reduce both the total amount of gun violence in this State and its racially-disproportionate impact;

(3) to intervene with persons who violate gun possession laws in a risk-responsive manner that decreases the likelihood of any future violent incidents and equips those who have previously violated gun laws to live responsibly and safely;

(4) to shrink illegal firearm markets and transfers by reducing both supply and demand for weapons, particularly handguns, outside of lawful purposes; and

(5) to promote employment infrastructure in community areas with the highest concentrations of gun violence.

(d) The ability of children, teenagers, and young adults to participate freely in education, employment, and civic life without any exposure to illegal weapons or gun violence, facilitating their safe and stable future prospects, shall be the central purpose of any initiatives included in this Act.

Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:

"Carrier" means a motor carrier or rail carrier that transports property through this State other than a private carrier.

"Firearm" has the meaning ascribed to the term in Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.

"SAFE Zones" means a Safety and Full Employment Zone as designated under Section 7.3 of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority Act.

Section 15. Priority of funding for gun violence initiatives.

(a) The Department of Human Services, the Department of Public Health, the State Board of Education, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services and any other relevant State agency shall, in conjunction with other public or private funding sources, prioritize funding for:

(1) family violence prevention services and positive parenting support;

(2) intervention programs that are designed to immediately prevent and intervene in gun violence;

(3) improved community trauma treatment;

(4) expanded firearm injury victim services, including activities aimed at trauma recovery and violence prevention and social services, including job connections or other resources to reduce risk factors;

(5) studies concerning the nature and prevalence of illegal firearm carrying, independent of law enforcement contact, to help identify the scale of illegal firearm possession in this State and determine risk and protective factors for violence among illegal possessors; and

(6) professional development for human service and community-based programs in family violence prevention, community violence prevention, and trauma recovery.

(b) All services provided should use restorative, evidence-informed methodologies such as practices identified by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the Centers for Disease Control's Youth Violence Prevention Strategies, or other similar resources.

(c) Public health approaches for violence prevention should be taken statewide, but be significantly elevated for support and services given to youth residing in SAFE Zones.

Section 20. Population-based distribution. On and after January 1, 2018, population calculations for State and local reimbursed share of State income, sales, and federal population-based distributed funds shall be based on zip codes of origin for incarcerated persons. SAFE Zones shall be prioritized for all State reimbursement and formula distributions.

Section 25. Carrier transportation of firearms or firearm ammunition; civil action.

(a) A carrier operating in this State transporting firearms shall notify the Department of State Police if a shipment or standing cargo containing firearms remains at rest for 12 hours or more.

(b) A carrier operating in this State transporting firearms shall report a trespassing incident, a travel obstruction, or theft of firearms to local law enforcement. A carrier operating in this State transporting firearms shall maintain a log of trespassing incidents, travel obstructions, or theft and make the log available upon request to a law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency.

(c) An injured person, or in the case of his or her death his or her next of kin, may bring a civil against a carrier who negligently fails to secure a shipment or standing cargo containing firearms if that negligence is the proximate cause of an injury or death to the person injured. Evidence of negligence include, but is not limited to, insecure fencing or other insecure locking mechanisms, insufficient security cameras or other electronic monitoring of the area, insufficient security personnel, or other insufficient security measures.

If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State files notice of its intention to again seek the extended sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.

The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9.

(730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)

Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of supervision.

(a) Except where specifically prohibited by other provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless, having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense, and to the history, character and condition of the offender, the court is of the opinion that:

(1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is necessary for the protection of the public; or

(2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be inconsistent with the ends of justice; or

(3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.

The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.

(b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment nor of probation supervision is appropriate.

(b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the defendant within the past 12 months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.

(c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 11-1.50 or 12-15; 26-5 or 48-1; 31-1; 31-6; 31-7; paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of Section 21-1; paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not barred from receiving an order for supervision as provided in this subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history, character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the opinion that:

(1) the offender is not likely to commit further crimes;

(2) the defendant and the public would be best served if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and

(3) in the best interests of justice an order of supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise permitted under this Code.

(c-5) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section do not apply to a defendant charged with a second or subsequent violation of Section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed while his or her driver's license, permit or privileges were revoked because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the offense of reckless homicide, or a similar provision of a law of another state.

(d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a defendant charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance when the defendant has previously been:
